MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 18. 196.1 A 11 Inverted Snifters Decoration Base Inverted snifters and goblets may be used for appealing Christmas decorations, says the Society of American Florists. One suggestion is an inverted clear glass snifter, housing an angel figure, with red roses, eucalytus and a red candle atop the snifter. Another thought is the use of an inverted colored goblet as a perch for red carna tions, a red candle and some artificial grapes. Roast Almonds in Soy Dark, shiny, mysterious soy roasted almonds make a glam orous gift as well as an attrac tive appetizer. The recipe comes from the Gas Appliance Manu facturers Association.

No one knows how the ancient Indians worked their way from the word "five" to the idea of punch. But there are a lot of theories. Some claim it stood for the five ingredients of punch hot, cold, bitter, sweet and sour. Others maintain it stood for the five ingredients of the fam- Poinettia Plant Is Traditional For Christmas Of all the beautiful flowering plants available from florists during the holiday season, prob ably the one that carols "Merry Christmas!" the clearest of ail is the poinsettia. Rarely used as a cut flower these plants, with their shaggy darkly green ous oriental swizzle: arrack, ' -a..a- j ra..i..i ct,.iiM. tea, sugar, water and lemon' d blossoms, truly come into juice. But regardless of what the five stood for, punch still makes the perfect holiday treat. Hot or cold, it has a festive air that is hard to beat. In Colonial America, no so cial gathering was complete without its punch bowl. It held water for christenings, set the tempo for the wedding festivi ties and was essential to the fin al tribute paid at the funeral. In the interim, it reigned over house raisings, husking bees, the timber rolling, the lottery drawing and elections. The father of the country. George Washington, was a great admirer of the punch bowl. But he stood not alone. In his time, and after. Americans and Englishmen alike observed their festive occasions around the punch bowl. to Dring puncn up to date, the bowl has a place at the patio barbecue as well as at the formal open house. Clans gather round the punch bowl at wed dings, cookouts, christenings and Christmas. The big thing about punch and even George Washington must have known is lhat it is economical. Punch goes a long way. Large crowds can be served quickly. Another of the delichts of the punch bowl is that there are their own at Christmas In some sections of the United States Florida or Hawaii, for example these delicate plants grow rank and thick in the warm sunshine, needing prac tically no care to flourish and bloom in hedgerows. In more temporate climes, however, the plants must be carefully nur tured in greenhouses, for many months, to come into their glory (or the holidays. The Society of American Flor ists says plant culture has been so carefully defined nowadays that a florist can prophesy, al most to the hour, when his poin settia plants will bloom. Since these plants are intertwined so inseparably with holiday cheer in most individual's minds, it is hard to find poinsettias at any other season of the year. They are hot-house forced for the Christmas tra.' only. While the brightly crimson blossoms are the most familiar and by far the most closely allied with the holidays poin settias arc also available in a delicate shade of off-ivory. Call ed "white" by most florists, they are actually the color of rich cream. A hybrid plant has been produced, too. by mating the red and the "white." This produces a soft, dainty pink bloom which is extremely at tractive if less traditional. Paris Lnimanuelle Khanh. 26.

Decades after other countries, manufacturers at last are hiring their own designers and begin ning to turn out inexpensive, fashionable ready - to wear clothes that may replace the traditional "little dressmaker" for the average woman. New Designers The Paris ready-to-wear trend has several new young design ers under the manufacturers' wing, including women. One man, Gerard Pipart, recently was lured away to the high fashion salon of Nina Micci, the first such event in Paris. Miss Khanh's clothes are not only young and feminine but full of fresh touches, some on the wild side, that have swept the mass market in Paris. Her "look," known as " the droop," harks bark to the M's, lank and limp, with long, pnint ed "dog ear" collars, sometimes double for suit, jackets. Virtually every garment manufacturer in Paris has copied her "dog ear" collar. Her spring collections feature scalloped collars and hems. career girl lives, in a sixth floor walk-up apartment overlooking an ancient church and the old rooftops of Paris.
